Great Lakes Seaway Trail Taking 12 New Itineraries to International Travel Marketplace May 21-25

Great Lakes Seaway Trail, NY and PA - Twelve new itineraries for touring the 518-mile Great Lakes Seaway Trail will be distributed to more than 1,500 domestic and international travel buyers from 70 countries at the Travel Association of America International Pow Wow Marketplace event in San Francisco May 21-25. The annual event generates more than $3.5 billion in future U.S. travel expenditures.
The Great Lakes Seaway Trail is the 518-mile-long National Scenic Byway that parallels the freshwater shoreline of the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, the Niagara River and Lake Erie in New York and Pennsylvania. The new Great Lakes Seaway Trail itineraries are posted online at www.seawaytrail.com/roadtrips.
The itineraries developed in partnership with I LOVE NEW YORK and the 11 Great Lakes Seaway Trail county tourism promotion agencies (10 in NYS, 1 in PA) are focused on themed travel opportunities:

The itineraries vary in length from a one afternoon option to a 9-day bicycling tour. Some of the itineraries are time-limited; others are available any time for do-it-yourself drivers; one is an escorted two-nation group tour to War of 1812 sites in New York, Pennsylvania, Ontario and Quebec.
"These byway-branded itineraries represent unique "only on the Great Lakes Seaway Trail" travel experiences on a premier American national scenic byway touring destination," says Great Lake Seaway Trail President and CEO Teresa Mitchell.
